About Jenny

We are a California family who left our hearts in Florida.

Jenny purchased this House in 2005

Why Jenny chose Melbourne Shores

We have family in the area and love to vacation here ourselves once a year.

What makes this House unique

Ocean Breezes, hikes in the nature preserve, walks on the beach in the morning, meandering in the tropical garden, watching the sunset over the river.

While it is an older home, it is very playfully appointed, clean and comfortable. We rented this home, which is in our home neighborhood to accommodate family who'd come into town to celebrate Thanksgiving with us. All who visited were ecstatic about their stay.

The house is perfectly situated between the ocean and river, a quick walk to either. The home is well stocked and comfortable, and we used the screened porch often for dinners. The yard is lush, the garage and outdoor shower helped us keep the beach sand outside. Beds were comfortable, great tv, internet and long distance home phone. We were close to restaurants, grocery, gym, and attractions. Thanks, Jenny and family, for letting us enjoy your home. And we loved the beach bikes and fish poles!

It's like a home away from home and great for long stays. There's lots of space to spread out and plenty of room for the kids. With the beach only a few blocks away and the Indian River only a few blocks in the other direction there's plenty to do without even leaving the neighborhood.

As a bonus, the private dock area on the river side has a giant playground setup that it great for kids from 2 years old, but is big enough for big kids too.

We loved our vacation!! The house was exactly as described, we were very pleased. The house is located a short walk from the beach and the river, it is pretty much centrally located between the 2. The beach is gorgeous and pretty private, everyone we spoke to in passing seemed to be locals and were very friendly and informative. We seen several sea turtles at night and even got lucky enough to see a leatherback on shore nesting and received a nice education from a professor and some marine biology students there that new the turtle was coming. Amazing!! Back to the house :-) the kitchen was perfectly stocked with any kind of cook and dishware we needed. We ate 1 -2 meals a day at the house. The publix store was a short drive away 3-4 miles. Was nice sitting on the back screened in porch. Wifi worked great! Went to disney 1 day about 1 hr and 20 min drive. Thanks you so much for sharing your home!!! The area is just so beautiful we hated to leave.

Jennifer, I am so glad to hear that you and your family had a pleasant stay. Thank you so much for sharing it. The turtles are a very special experience, indeed. Even more special that you met some local experts on the beach to tell you about them! We hope to hear from you again next time you plan a trip to Florida. -Jenny
